Kimwha, Korea,
dune 13, 1939.
Dear Father:
Since I wrote last I have had two letters from
you, one just a few hours ago. The first was written hew 14
and was enclosed with one from Mrs. Bunn for the Wesley Women
with their check for $30 and the second was written Hay 21*
and brought your check for $15. ^hank <rou very much, I
shall wri+e the Wesley Women. fcs to cashing checks, it"
makes no difference about the size, as the bank here handles
them ail through Seoul, and always seems to have plenty of
money. I cannot draw on them till they have been to Seoul
and back. 1 think you have to pay a tax on each check, do vou
not? So that the fewer you write the better it is for vou.
